  Do check wires and connections and esp. speaker line fuses. Switch wires right and left and you'll know if it's the receiver or something else. Also, check your receiver settings (I just found out my 3rd set up McIntosh MA 5100 was set on left to left and right not stereo).

  Yes, you can hook up bigger gauge wire (link). There are several vendors from ebay who sell inexpensive setups.

  You could DIY something (like buying higher quality spades to short high end wires which are bare and tinned, then crimped onto heavy bananas.

  Here is a more expensive one:

  • Dispair leading to depression...did the cross check - Hifi Dreamer 10:41:07 03/16/07 (2)

    ...and it appears both speakers/leads respond to the right channel. The left is definitely dead. There is one fuse back there labeled "slow blo", but it LOOKS ok. Could it be faulty and not apparent? Wondering what are typical charges to have this type of thing professionally corrected. I'm scared...I'm poor.

      I assume you mean the McIntosh 1700 receiver? Several inmates on vintage are very knowledgeable and so are the ones on the other forum. Particularly, Michael Samra and Brian Levy know McIntosh.
